Hi all,

I am curious to work out where the best place is for an astronomer
to live in the UK. In other words, what location in the UK has the
greatest number of clear nights per year?


Not sure about uncloudiness data but I guess also important is light
pollution. You can find detailed light pollution maps for different
areas of the UK he

I'm sure that we've had this discussion before and the No. 1 spot was
the Isle of Tiree. Nice place to live.
